Yes @merc81 you are so right. The students even had a sit in last night in protest of the decision.

@ThisNameNotTaken Lovely Amherst. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It is such a special place for sure. I am sad that the culmination of their hard work and lives built around this college will end abruptly without the usual excitement and senior celebrations. My daughter and her friends aren’t graduating this year, but had planned their end of the school year trip to include returning to Amherst to send off their friends and classmates at graduation. I know there are far worse things. They get to be sad and that’s okay.
